Question:

87. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the annual saving to the Exchequer by reducing all non-commercial State-sponsored bodies' chief executive officers' salaries by 10%. [26613/15]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

My Department currently holds information on the salary rates being paid to Chief Executive Officers of some 60 non-commercial State-sponsored bodies. A 10% reduction in the salaries paid to those CEOs would amount to around €767,000.
